More reasons to use PD fluid with less sugar

Using a novel index created by dividing the glucose content of PD solution by body weight, this study looked at the impact of PD fluid sugar on hemoglobin A1c, fluid overload, and inflammation (measured by interleukin (IL) 6) in 43 people on PD. Higher sugar levels were linked with worse diabetes control, more fluid overload, and higher IL-6 levels.
